Water: Originating from arid environments, gouania is drought-tolerant and requires watering every three weeks, allowing soil to dry out between sessions. Its efficient root system maximizes water absorption during rare rainfall, showcasing its evolutionary adaptation to moisture-scarce conditions.

Propagation: Propagation of gouania involves methods like seed sowing and stem cuttings. Essential for success are adequate light, warmth, and well-draining soil. Challenges include seed dormancy and delicate rooting. For cuttings: select a healthy stem, prepare with rooting hormone, and maintain humidity until roots develop.
